Hey all, I am new to the forums and am currently in the process of purchasing an X5 E70. I am considering a 2012 X5 xdrive50i with the M Sport Package & 20" M Sport Wheels. It is well equipped, i think. I negotiated the price down to $54,000 even + tax. It currently has 21900 miles. Here are some of the other options it has: Technology package, Nav with Real Time traffic, Convenience package, Reverse and side cameras, active vent seat package, heated and ventilated front seats, multi-contour seats, active steering, adaptive drive, premium sound package, pano roof, HUD. MSRP was allegedly $82,475.
Is this a fair price? I pulled an NADA and clean retail is in excess of $61k, so I think i'm getting a good deal.
No CPO as far as i'm concerned. According to NADA, trade-in value is $55.5. The same dealer has a beautiful X5 M with <34K miles, priced just a bit over this 50i. I'm torn between the two. Btw Ard, thanks for suggesting the PPI. It had not crossed my mind! It'll be money well spent.
Don't forget that the entire maintenance and repair history of both these cars by VIN (up to at least 50K miles) will be available on the BMW service department's computer. They probably won't give you a copy because of the previous owner(s) name, but should go through the list and tell you what has been done, when, and where. That will give you an insight into any recurring problems or major work done. Good luck and don't forget that PPI at a good BMW oriented Indy.:thumbup:
Yes that is a pretty well equipt vehicle
The service history is key but also it's not cpod so that will cost u another 3 to 5k
Post the results of ur findings w the service history
Even if it looks minor!
Good luck!

I called BMW and inquired about the service history. Only thing that was done was an oil change at 15k miles. PPI was clean as a whistle, so I pulled the trigger on it. I am now the proud owner of a '12 X5 xDrive50i. . Thanks for all the input again!
Congratulations! Now Doc when you are ready to move up in a couple of years be sure to check out the Cayenne GTS! In the meantime enjoy your ride.:angel:
It isn't pic worthy ATM since I've driven it quite a bit the past couple of days. Unfortunately, its raining cats and dogs today but as soon as I can wash it, I'll post some pictures.
Pure awesomeness! Loving everything about with the exceptions of city mpg, but then again, I didn't buy it for its fuel economy. Surprisingly, it did really well on the highway.
